Create a single web page that displays side-by-side a collection of images from different sources online. You should have at least 7 different images, each from a different (website) domain. The collection should be coherent, about a single thing; for instance, the images might be:
- related to a topic or theme (thematic collage)
- related to yourself (self-portrait)
- related to someone else (portrait)
- share a common visual aspect, such as a color, or pattern, or shape (a "swatch", in the traditional design sense)
- share a hidden / cryptic connection (a puzzle?)
Think of a possible use / context for viewing for your collage. How might your collage contribute to a personal research question, or serve to illustrate a point, or suprise of otherwise those who view it.
Collage as Critique: Historically, collage as a form has been used as a technique to look critically at mainstream / normative media but taking elements out of their original popular contexts and re-contextualizing them. An attempt is made to reveal links that would normally remain unseen or unspoken because of the connections being uncomfortable for some or otherwise problematic.
